A Cen0lct 81 Authority in the War Depart

WASHINGTON. March 9--The special
correspondent OF the Baltimore Sss -

Secretary Endicott Of several appoint
ment rscently made by General Shrr-
dan; The changes necessitated by the
recent order Of the Secretary OF War lir1-
ting the term OF duty OF regimental a
~jutants and quartermasrers to four yearl
viii probably occasion some correspon L
ence between Secretary. Endicott and
Lieutcnant-G General Sheridan. that will
rival in piquancy the letter
which passed between them earlier in
the Administration enera Sheridan has
always held that matters relating TO the
assignment Of Officers should be entirely
in the hands Of the commanding General
Of the army. Several Colonels wrote to
General Sheridan, when il became neces-
sary to change their adjutants and quar-
termasters, to obtain his authority 20 as
sign LIeutcnants doing . term Of light
battery duty to the regimental stan posi-
tons. Gcncrai Sheridan reserved his de-
clsion, but advised the Colonels 70
send in any recommendations that
they might think best in connection with
tho appointments The recommendations
arrived and the L.ieutenantGeneral ap-
pointed several adjutants aad quarter
masters who were at b time on light
battery duty. This vas done while Sec
rotary Endicott was absent from the city
when he returned Genera Sheridan was
in the West, and without any hesitation.
he revoked the appointments Of the light
battery Lieutenants.
General Sheridan will return 70 this
city some time this week, and IL Is expect
ed that he will resent the Secretary's in
reference in . matter that he considers
within his exclusive jurisdiction. Corre-
! spondence on the subject will naturally
become . part Of the department records,
